The Experience
A long, unmade road takes you through trees, eventually opening out into a small farmstead and the Barn. Its south-facing decking overlooks an orchard and the owners’ home is just next door. You can’t hear anything except the trees rustling and birds chirruping.
Mark and Bryher are warm and kind and leave you fresh flowers, butter, just-laid eggs, Cornish soaps, treats and toys for children. Your kitchen is at the end of the open-plan barn with plenty of workspace and all the gear even a fussy cook wants. You can buy pork, lamb and eggs from the farm and the fresh fish man comes on Thursdays; order a Riverford Organic veg box ahead.
There are 12 acres of farmland with woods for den building, plus animals to feed and a myriad of walking trails. Join the public footpath just beside you for a walk to the local pub then a spot of crabbing in the creek at Point Quay. Return to light the wood-burner on chilly evenings, or fire up the barbecue when it’s balmy and listen to the owls hoot as the stars make their grand entrance.

We had a glorious stay at the Old Barn for the full week we were there. We came for a wedding, so this was a special trip, particularly as we were joined by our son (an A&E doctor) who needed a rest. The setting is green and lovely, the old barn is immaculate, and all the rooms are filled with comfort and ease. Everything was well nigh perfect. Wonderful communications beforehand, and then flowers and eggs and bread and all we could need waiting for us, and a list of places to visit and to eat in: Bryher's efficiency and kindness made our stay glorious. I intend to go back, every year!

We arrived to be greeted by an excellent cream tea which was most welcome after the journey. The accommodation was perfect for us - quiet, plenty of space for a couple and a dog and great dog walks nearby. Bedroom was very comfortable. Good recommendations by our hosts for food and drink and other activities. Would certainly book again.

It was our first visit to the Old Barn with my hubby & dogs for an extended weekend break and we were warmly welcomed by Bryher & Mark. Surroundings and accommodation were lovely, everything thought off. Hope to revisit in the near future to take advantage of the many dog friendly walks within the vicinity & enjoy visiting more pubs x a must for newbies should be The Standard pub @ Portscatho & IndiDog @ Falmouth

Location
The neighbourhood
You can walk to the village shop at Carnon Downs in about 20 minutes. Equidistant is Point - a small, very pretty village with a chapel on a promontory where Penpol Creek meets Restronguet Creek. Truro is a short drive for really good restaurants, Falmouth just a bit further for the National Maritime Museum and the ferry to St Mawes. You're near to gentle beaches on the south coast for days out with a picnic or wavy north coast sands for surfing and bodyboarding.
Local points of interest from Bryher & Mark Hole
- Amble down the various footpaths to the creek. Then walk along the old tramway marvelling at the sheer beauty and the abundant birdlife. The Old Quay Inn at historic Devoran is well placed for a good lunch.
- Loe Beach is a great watersports beach where you can hire kayaks and boats or have lessons. Alternatively, you can soak up the local, nautical atmosphere in the excellent beach café. (5 mins away by car or 45 mins walk alongside the creek.)
- NT Trelissick is 5 mins away and has a beautiful country house and garden set in an old Cornish estate with stunning maritime views and lovely woodland walks. From the jetty you can hop on a Fal river boat to discover Falmouth by sea.
- The award winning 13th Century Pandora Inn is 15 min drive. Its spectacular setting on the edge of Restronguet Creek, it's thatched roof and low beamed ceilings are timeless. The jetty is the perfect spot for kids to go crabbing making everyone happy.
- Cycle along nearby Bissoe Trail on traffic free paths through Cornwall’s historical mining landscape. From the calm of Devoran on the S Coast to the rugged fishing village of Portreath on the N coast with a great Cornish pub halfway.
- The King Harry Ferry allows you to avoid congested roads and enjoy a short scenic river crossing to the beautiful Roseland Peninsula. Here you can explore the quiet sandy beaches, and quaint fishing villages.

Introducing
Bryher & Mark Hole
Mark and Bryher have been here for quite some time now. They first of all renovated their own lovely home then started work on the Barn. Bryher is always out and about on the farmstead looking after her animals and the garden. They both love sharing their place with like-minded country lovers who will enjoy all that they've got to offer. You'll also meet Madge the terrier, Lurcher cross Isla and lots of sheep and hens.
This is a delightful place; superbly spacious, clean and well-maintained accommodation with walks and views on the doorstep. The hosts are so amenable and welcoming, providing all the local information you need. It is a home from home - Bryher has thought of everything - fresh flowers, soap, tissues, not forgetting the beautiful eggs from the chickens in the orchard. If you need a backup meal for home, the well-stocked Spa shop in the village has the Cooks frozen range, and the staff are very helpful!
